Create a new recipe for a vegetarian dish.

I have created a new recipe for a vegetarian dish—Vegetarian Kofta Curry. The dish consists of spicy potato and lentil balls, cooked in a creamy tomato-based curry. The vegetables bring a spectrum of flavor, while the yogurt and spices give a unique and aromatic twist. Serve it hot with a side of basmati rice, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.

Ingredients: 
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced 
- 1 cup cooked lentils 
- 1 onion, diced 
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced 
- 1 cup plain yogurt 
- 1 teaspoon cumin 
- 1 teaspoon coriander 
- ½ teaspoon paprika 
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste 
- 1 can diced tomatoes 
- Salt and pepper to taste 

Instructions: 
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 
2. Combine potatoes, lentils, onion, garlic, yogurt, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until ingredients are well combined. 
3. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. 
4. Shape the mixture into small balls and place them on the baking sheet. 
5. Bake for 30 minutes, turning the balls once halfway through. 
6. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and salt and pepper. 
7. Bring to a simmer and add the kofta balls. 
8. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
9. Serve with basmati rice, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
